Default Post Your Most Awesome Drawn-On Cards!

I know it's not Pre-WWII Vintage... but I've lusted after this card for a long time now. Along with any Mays Rookie card, it's my Holy Grail. I LOVE seeing cards which were obviously owned by kids who had opinions on the cards they got. I'm picturing some disgruntled Red Sox fan opened a pack of '68 Topps, hoping for a Yaz or a Rico Peterocelli and getting "stuck" with a damn Mickey Mantle card. So... he took it out on the card.

Well done! (I WANT THAT CARD!!!!)

What awesome drawn-on cards do you have in your collection?

I have a few, but will start with this one. This Diamond Stars of Melillo, shown with a plain "as issued" example, I think qualifies due to its artistic outlining and added detail.

Here's a 64 Topps Venezuelan card. Dick has a bunch of watches going up his arm, and his bat extends a long way into the back of the card. This came straight from a collector in Venezuela, I love stuff like this.

That's pretty cool!! As an artist, I've taken to drawing on my Topps cards... just experimenting now... but maybe I'll post at some point.

Great line work there!

I was looking at this Stevens Firearms Mack closer and think there is a chance it could be a natural phenomenon, when taking the staining into account

And if you see a card with Alfred on back it's probably PCL and has a good chance of being rare.

This is, without question, one of my favorite cards. Buckley the Crusader has it all: a fire bomb, a staff, a sword, a Templar theme, a battle with the Turks, and a holy war (because God wills it)...

That one is mine,lol. I love when it gets thrown out there as it’s one of my oddball favs.

I love that the hair and beard is just the top layer removed. My son has called it the “Kentucky Fried Card” since it turned up when he was littler.

Ridiculously cool & funny card!

You know that kid that drew that was showing all his buddies on the playground his amazing artwork! It really brings that time period to life to see doodles and graffiti like this!

It took me awhile, and the scans are fairly poor (thanks graded cards and their dislike of being scanned well by certain scanners), but I thought this 1925 Zeenut of Jim Bagby deserved to be added to this thread.

It makes you ponder if the artist had a second copy of the card, or if they had to do a lot of card flipping to create the final product as seen on the card's back.

these are black and white cards with red backgrounds but someone meticulously colored them in:
